I recently aquired a 2004 Lincoln LS which came with two user keys and a valet key.
There's four of us in the family and occasionally someone has to move my car to free their's, so I'd like to get a couple of more user keys so everyone has one on their keyrings.
The car's owner's manual has instructions telling how I can program the car to recognize additional keys as long as I already have two recognized keys.
Having lived through so many years when buying an extra car key cost about the same as a pre Starbucks cup of coffee, I was shocked, just shocked, to hear what a Lincoln dealer said those extra keys would cost me.
Are the blanks for those types of "smart keys" typically available through full service locksmiths who'd then cut the bits in them, or is there a web store source selling compatible key blanks which anyone with a key machine could cut?
Thanks guys,
Jeff
